Whilst I was reading Shazam's article, Ghost posted the answer I am seeking.

Ghost - many thanks - Just to be absolutely sure (and before I do more damage because I have misunderstood your answer) are you saying that I can connect any of the reg/rec yellow wires to any of the yellow wires on the other side of the block connector?

Sorry to be pedantic, but really don't want another flamer.

Yes its safe to connect any yellow wire from the alternator to any yellow wire going to the regulator, they all have a AC voltage and as its not driving a motor the order in which they are connected doesn't matter

Pretty common. The connectors get dirty or corroded. This causes increased resistance across the terminals and manifests itself as heat. There can be some pretty high Amp'age across tehre and the heat melts the plastic connector and insulation. Snowballs from that as the resistance increases and eventually the assembly melts/fails. Regular cleaning and electrolyte helps.
